Special Counsel Jack Smith in a court filing Monday urged U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case, to reject the former president’s attempts to delay his trial until after the 2024 election.
“The defendants provide no credible justification to postpone a trial that is still seven months away,” Smith’s team wrote in response to a court filing by Trump's attorneys seeking the postponement. “They are fully informed about the charges and the theory of the Government’s case from a highly detailed superseding indictment and comprehensive, organized unclassified and classified discovery.”
